Sapiens v. Arachnids

There are approximately 40,000 spiders species and 400 species of sapiens. Like humans, arachnids inhabit all areas of the globe, can swim, fly, dive, jump, run and hunt. Like humans they eat, drink, breath, burp, fart and sometimes even sit naked in the dark for very long periods of time and occasionally show up unexpectedly and when unwanted..

Yet, despite all of our excellence, we have yet to make a material as strong and light as spider silk, and to top it off, except for our politicians, most of us can't shoot silk from our asses.
